Tintin: Superb!

We took over 90% of the movie theater, our family plus twelve other families from the homeschool group, and were all delighted by a wonderful show! We discussed the movie over breakfast this morning, and our combined overall review--and being Tintin lovers we are very picky reviewers--was very, very favorable:

the film kept the atmosphere, feel of the Tintin stories

no politically-correct distortions

incredible attention to detail in every scene, we felt as if inside one of the books

the 3-D effect awesome!

the initial scene of Tintin being drawn by Herge' at the art fair won all of our hearts

the Catholic reference of St. John the Evangelist in the final scene was left intact (see original page of book here)
